Missing "Minimum Items in Collection" Setting on Binhex Jellyfin (Unraid) - - TechNoLogic - 2025-07-16

Hi Jellyfin Community,

I'm seeking some assistance with a persistent issue regarding collection display settings in my Jellyfin setup. 

Problem: The setting "Minimum number of items in a collection to show it" is missing from the "Edit Library" page for my Movies library (and other media libraries). This means I cannot prevent collections with only one item (created from TMDb Box Sets) from appearing in my library views, leading to a cluttered Collection section. I have tried clearing my browser cache and using different browsers/incognito mode.

My Setup:
Jellyfin Server Version: 10.10.7
Unraid OS Version: 7.0.0
Docker Container: binhex-jellyfin
Docker /config   Host Path: /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-jellyfin/config/
(This path has been recently corrected from a non-standard setup.)
 
Troubleshooting Performed & Key Observation: Initially, I had a non-standard appdata path setup for my Docker container, which resulted in a data/data/ nesting within my config directory. I have since followed guidance to correct this, and my Jellyfin data is now located at the standard /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-jellyfin/config/ path. 

During this troubleshooting, I noticed my Jellyfin installation does not appear to use individual XML files for library definitions. The library/ folder, which typically contains [GUID].xml files for each library, is absent from the expected location (/mnt/user/appdata/binhex-jellyfin/config/data/data/) . This suggests that my library settings are stored directly within the library.db SQLite database?

To confirm this, here is the output of ls -la /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-jellyfin/config/data/data/:

(As you can see from the output above, jellyfin.db and library.db are present, but there is no library/ folder.) 

My Questions:
  1. Is the "Minimum number of items in a collection to show it" setting expected to be present in the UI for my Jellyfin version/Binhex container setup?
  2. If not, is there an alternative way to configure this setting (e.g., via a hidden option, an API, or directly in library.db - though I understand direct DB editing is risky and not generally recommended without expert guidance)?
  3. Could this be a bug specific to the binhex-jellyfin container or my Jellyfin version?

Any insights or guidance on how to enable this setting or prevent single-item collections from showing would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
